1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundLimited evidence suggests that migraine might be a risk factor for venous thromboembolism (VTE). We conducted an epidemiologic study to assess whether migraine history is associated prospectively with VTE or cross sectionally with hemostatic risk markers for VTE.

methodsIn a population-based US cohort, 11 985 participants free of VTE reported headache symptoms in 1993-1995. We classified participants as having either migraines with or without aura, severe nonmigraine headaches, or no severe headaches. We followed them through 2015 for incident VTE verified by medical records.

resultsParticipants' mean age at baseline was 60 years (SD: 6). Eleven percent were classified as having a migraine history (932 without aura and 396 with aura). Over a mean of 18 years and 211 913 person-years at risk, 688 participants developed VTE. Participants with a migraine history had no greater risk of VTE compared with those free of severe headache (adjusted hazard ratio [HR]: 1.06, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.82-1.36). Those with migraine history with aura had an HR of 1.25 (95% CI: 0.85-1.85). Self-reported physician diagnosis of migraine carried an HR of 1.22 (0.96-1.55). At baseline, those with a history of migraine, furthermore, did not have a higher frequency of elevated hemostatic risk factors or a higher genetic risk score for VTE.

conclusionThis study does not support the hypothesis that migraine history is an important risk factor for VTE in older adults.
